Watch Arsenal signing Thomas Partey show off vision with brilliant long-ball assist on Ghana duty
ARSENAL fans were left drooling at the prospect of watching new signing Thomas Partey in the Premier League after he produced a sublime assist for Ghana in their 5-1 win over Qatar.
Partey, 27, hit a defence-beating pass for scorer Samuel Owusu and also set up another goal to hand Mikel Arteta a huge boost ahead of Saturday’s visit to Manchester City.
Partey’s piece of skill was reminiscent of Gunners favourite Cesc Fabregas in his prime.
And Arteta could have more than just a ball-winning midfielder on his hands after signing Partey from Atletico Madrid for £45million on deadline day.
Indeed, Arsenal supporters were jubilant as they watched Partey’s playmaker performance.
